There's lots of ways to get rid of someone you don't like, but doing this and then telling them the whole sorry experience has cost more than £70 is a good start

This is the hilarious moment a girl messaged a boy who asked for her number with a stream of One Direction photos and updates.

And, when he finally 'unsubscribed' to the fake stream of pictures, she told him it had cost a whopping £78.96.

With the kind of devotion only true Directioners have, the girl, who has since changed her Twitter name from Hannah to Harry Styles, posted a screenshot of the amusing exchange.

She quickly deleted it, but it was retweeted by @commonfemale for the world to see.

Above it, she wrote: "I MET THIS BOY LAST NIGHT AND HE TEXT ME AND I DID THIS AGAIN I AM CRYING."

It began with the interested boy texting her saying: "Hi".

She immediately wrote back: "You have been subscribed for One Direction updates and pictures! To kick you off, here's a picture of the boys when they were just starting out! Weren't they just adorable?! To unsubscribe reply with STOP. Rates and charges apply."

A snap of the 1D boys in sunglasses looking very young and new to the music world followed.

After the confused guy asked if he was actually speaking to Hannah, and calling her "weird", he eventually replied with "STOP".

To really finish the job off, Hannah then wrote back: "You have unsubscribed to One Direction updates and pictures. Your phone bill will include our charge of £78.96. To re-subscribe reply with START."

When the poor boy wrote back: "WHAT?!" Hannah started the whole thing all over again.
